The Echo Administration Screen - Devon IT OptiPlex VDI Blaster Edition Administration Manual

The Echo Administration Screen

The Echo Administration Screen is divided into two sections. The left-hand
side displays your inventory tables.
The Terminals Table
Dell terminals and desktop access devices have a service called the Echo Agent
that communicates with the Echo Thin Manage server. The Echo Agent
announces its presence to the Echo server by continuously sending XML-based
messages known as „heartbeats,‟ which occur every 60 seconds by default. As
the agent heartbeats into the server, information about that device is displayed in
the Terminals table.
The Hosts Table
Host servers have a Host Agent service installed. Like its Echo Agent
counterpart, the Host Agent also communicates with the Echo server by
heartbeating periodically. When a Host Agent heartbeat is received by the Echo
server, detailed information about that host is reported in the Hosts table.
